Trucker admitted killing abortion protester

OWOSSO -- Newly released documents say a trucker took two nieces and a teen boy to school before fatally shooting an abortion protester and another man in a small Michigan town.

The documents say Harlan Drake confessed to killing James Pouillon and Mike Fuoss. His statements to Owosso police are in an affidavit that was used to justify a search of his apartment and truck after the Sept. 11 shootings. The affidavit was available after being sealed for 56 days. Drake is charged with first-degree murder and gun violations. His lawyer is considering an insanity defense.

Drake told police that he drove two nieces to school in Corunna and then dropped off a niece's boyfriend at Owosso High School. Pouillon was shot near the school while protesting abortion.
